When looking for ways to secure your goods and equipment, DAYWALK is a trusted provider of superior products for warehouse facilities including pallets, metal cages, strapping tools and more, for your storage needs. These Australian-engineered storage solutions help warehouses avoid item damage and prevent operational delays.
Wooden Vs. Metal Cages
There are many types of stillage and crates made for numerous functions, but when it comes to warehouse solutions, nothing beats the upholding strength of the metal stillage. While wooden cages are lighter the metal, there is no doubt that any steel structures can provide a better and stronger foundation for casing and protecting critical spares and equipment.
Wooden materials, if not properly treated to maintain its quality and durability, can be a source of contamination when storing consumable goods. Wood, if it becomes wet or when moisture is trapped, can be a beginning of mould and fungus manifestations, which will eventually make the crate vulnerable to decay and pest infestations.
Metal stillages can allow areas to add space since they can be stacked vertically, as much as five cages high, with the use of a forklift for secure piling.
Aside from that, the composition of the materials is much sturdier and can last longer than the average wooden crates. Because of its natural elements, wooden materials are susceptible to deterioration and decomposition faster than other resources of other by-products available in the market today. Although the cost can be expensive, metal stillages are more beneficial for long-term purposes.
Identifying and Solving Bottlenecks in Warehousing
Your choice of cages and stillages can also prevent operational issues, such as bottlenecks in warehousing.
Bottlenecks aren’t that hard to identify and solve. For bottlenecks resulting from manpower, improved training and proper warehouse procedures can be implemented to reduce downtime. For technology bottlenecks, ensure the workforce has adequate training in the use of the technology and that connectivity is optimised.
When it comes to inventory organisation and warehouse layouts, shelves should be orderly so that items can be found quickly or easily stored away. Therefore, steel cages are a significant asset in many warehouses, providing a highly durable, economical, stackable, and forklift compatible organisation solution.
The DAYWALK Cage range has anti-tipping bars and two removable half fold-down gates for easy access or inspection of items stored inside. The cage can also come with a one half-fold lockable lid suited for transporting goods in safety. The steel mesh sides and sheeted flooring also ensure that items are well-protected. Metal cages can also be folded or dismantled for storage or safe-keeping when not used. They can also be stacked to optimise warehouse floor space.

Warehouse Storage Solutions: The Beginning of a New Era
DAYWALK has been in business since 1992, starting out as a sawmill support entity. As the years went on, when the market was continuously building a strong customer base, the company began heading in a new direction, and started bringing the market products that were used for securing packages during shipment and storage.
In 2006, the first rust stabilising products and strapping tools were made. And the decision to incorporate the market of the packaging industry to the business was solidified.
During July 2009, the patent for providing and supplying long-standing protection for critical spares and equipment has been a top priority of the company. Garnering the trust of loyal customers and, at the same time, meeting new satisfied clients. This was the beginning of our storage and transport solutions, offering complete asset protection for industries including mining, oil & gas, Defence, energy, construction, manufacturing, rail and more.
